Rick,

Back in Hawaii my friends and I use to go lobster diving at Waimea Bay at night. I was the one who always kept a look out from the churchabove Wiamea for cops because it was illegal to catch lobsters durring that time of the year. Its pretty easy to spot someone in the water because the use of flash lights at night in the water. Before my friends would come in I would signal 2 flashes for coast is clear or 3 for cops on shore. This one night my flash light went dead right after I gave the second flash and yes there were cops on shore. So my buddies got caught and they were given a stern warning, which meant HPD had a good dinner the next night.

Good thing they weren't Maine lobsters, or there would be another dimension to the story. Or should I say dimension-less.

Hey Frank,

Maine lobster, now that would be nasty. Permit on one side trying to take a bite while the Maine guys are chopping away at the other side as you descend into the "lost dimension."Do people dive up there in just bathing suits, or not? Or is it too chilly? Harder to repeat this story with a drysuit which is comforting.

Thanks Scott, sorry to put it up before it was finished.

Great story Chris. It is amazing how far you can see a light shined up to the surface from below. It looks like green circular explosions sometimes. Glad you guys got off with a warning and the police got to tuck into some fresh lobster.
